Since the telegraph strike ended there have heen Tumors of the consolidation of all telegraph Inter- ests outside of the Western Union to compete with thatcompany. It was sald that the Postal tele- graph, the American Raplt,ani the Binkers ant Merchants were to be consolidated. A recent dis patch from this city states that this schem» has fallen through, and that the Postal Telegraph coinpany had begun to build aline between this city and Bultlmore.
